Zoriah: Iraq War Diary -- public commentary

The following is a bit of the commentary that came in through Lightstalkers following the news that Zoriah's photographs of the suicide bombing had resulted in him being removed from Iraq by the military. I am posting it here to keep everyone informed. Zoriah is now on his way back to the United States, where several news organizations plan on interviewing him about his experiences in Iraq and the events that transpired after his photographs were published. I will post updates as he passes them along.

Zoriah: Iraq War Diary gets him kicked out of Iraq

Just read this….really disappointing, to say the least. Zoriah was doing important work.

that is too too bad…his work was powerful, intense, real, as were the words and his diary…..

Zoriah, my friend

Zoriah: I hope you are o.k. and safe. I'm not really surprised that this happened. I think the military has very strict regulations as to what can and cannot be seen by the rest of the world... particularly, here in the U.S., and especially with an election coming up.

Write when you have time. Christine and Melissa sent me the news.
